Emerson recently launched an energy-efficient alternative to conventional HID wall pack lighting fixtures with its new Appleton™ Wallmaster™ LED Series wall pack luminaires, specially engineered for hazardous industrial environments. Available in five lumen outputs equivalent to HID wattages from 70W to 400W, Appleton Wallmaster LED luminaires consume as much as 80% less electricity than an HID without sacrificing brightness, paving the way for lower operational costs across a range of industries. An impressive 102,000-hour service life further reduces expenses by decreasing maintenance needs and eliminating unplanned downtime.
Industrial LED lighting has reached an inflection point with an estimated 40% of North American plants having upgraded from traditional light sources to LED. However, in classified or hazardous locations, LED adoption has been much slower due to the need for extremely rugged, highly specialized fixtures. Appleton has tackled those challenges by offering more than 40 LED luminaires designed for hazardous locations, the latest being the new Wallmaster LED Series.
Improved Visibility for Safer Workplaces
Appleton Wallmaster LED wall pack luminaires are perfect for installation above doors, along building exteriors, stairways, tunnels, loading docks, and other areas where illumination over wide areas adjacent to walls is required. They combine Type III medium light distribution with an available lumen range of 3,500 to 12,000 lumens, ensuring excellent visibility while minimizing glare and light pollution. Not only do these luminaires reduce dangers in industrial spaces, but a choice of color temperatures and 10% to100% dimming levels contributes to other benefits like reduced eye strain and enhanced worker well-being.
Engineered for CID2 Locations
Appleton Wallmaster LED Series luminaires are engineered for areas classified by the National Electrical Code (NEC) as “hazardous” due to the presence of flammable gases, vapors or liquids. Specifically, the new luminaires meet NEC/CEC Class I, Division 2 (CID2) standards for the safe deployment in a variety of industrial locations, including petrochemical, chemical, and LNG plants, utilities, wastewater treatment facilities, foundries, pulp and paper mills, and oil and gas refineries.
In addition to CID2 sites, Appleton Wallmaster LED Series luminaires are suitable for harsh non-hazardous NEMA 4X areas, outdoor installations, and maritime applications, thanks to an IP66-rated aluminum housing and light guard, epoxy powder coating, an impact- and thermal-resistant polycarbonate lens, and stainless-steel bolts, safety cables, and mounting brackets. Enclosed and gasketed, Appleton Wallmaster LED luminaires demonstrate unparalleled resistance against corrosion, dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
At this time, Appleton Wallmaster LED Series luminaires are pending DarkSky™ Approval due to their ability to reduce light pollution, glare, and light trespass.
